- **Event Description**: American Elm
“The better I feel about a song, the less I know where it came from,” says Chris Bousquet, with both confidence, and an overwhelming sense of awe for the mysteries of the creative process. Which is why  for the past decade and half, a mostly solo endeavor was given the name American Elm. “American Elm was never just Chris Bousquet and Chris Bousquet was never American Elm. If that sounds ‘mystical’,” says Bousquet, “that’s because to me, it is.” 

The Bargain
Formed in 2019, The Bargain comprises Frank Critelli on vocals, Muddy Rivers on guitar and harmony vocals, and Shandy Lawson on mandolin. Drawing on a range of influences from The Band, to Metallica, to Goethe, the three come together in a fusion of guitar-driven acoustic pop pieces and soaring ballads, bolstered by vocal harmonies and mandolin.

The Bargain’s first CD, a collection titled Hindsight: 2020 was released in February of 2021 to critical success, and was followed by the studio album ’22 in November of the following year, earning spots on two of Connecticut’s year-end “Best Of” lists.

The band performs regularly throughout New England, with occasional journeys south along the east coast, performing both in their original acoustic trio configuration as well as an electric five-piece, backed by Jim Stavris on drums and Bobo Lavorgne on bass.
